Leigh-Anne Pinnock “can’t believe” that her twins are almost a year old, and neither can we. It seems like only yesterday that the “Little Mix” star announced her pregnancy in an unforgettable social media photo – but it actually happened all the way back in May 2021.
In the her latest Instagram post, the 30-year-old shares an extremely cute video of her growing babies playing together at home. Along with the adorable video, the British singer writes, “The bond is growing and it’s melting my heart, I can’t believe my cubbies are 11 months mannnn ❤️?”. We might not know the names of Pinnock’s babies, but we do know that they’re becoming extremely close. In another Instagram post showing her twins holding hands, Pinnock notes that the tiny duo already have a “forever bond”. We can’t cope with the cuteness overload.
Fans had no clue Pinnock and footballer fiancé Andre Gray were expecting twins. The pregnancy announcement was accompanied with an ambiguous caption: “We’ve dreamed about this moment for so long and we can’t believe the dream is finally coming true . . . we can’t wait to meet you. ❤️”
Fans erupted with joy when, on 23 August 2021, the star revealed that she had in fact given birth to two babies a week earlier. She told her 9 million Instagram followers, “We asked for a miracle, we were given two… ?? Our Cubbies are here ??16/08/21 ?”.
While Pinnock gives us glimpses of the twins every now and then, she understandably wants to keep their identities private. “I’m just trying to keep it as private as possible for as long as possible. It was a decision we made at the time because [the attention] was freaking me out a little bit,” she said in an interview ahead of “Little Mix”‘s final pre-hiatus show at London’s O2 arena earlier this year.
Like something from a best-friend fairytale, fellow bandmate Perrie Edwards was pregnant at the same time: she gave birth to baby boy Axel, whom she shares with fiancé and Liverpool footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, just a week after Pinnock’s twins were born. The 29-year-old frequently shares wholesome snaps with her son, and we can’t get enough of them.
“Little Mix” member Jade Thirwall, who is dating Rizzle Kicks’s Jordan Stephens, has said that Pinnock and Edward’s babies are “so beautiful” and that she hopes to be “the best Auntie” she can be. We know that Thirwall will be coolest honorary auntie on the planet to these lucky cherubs.
